STAN FREBERG HERE...News From The "m&m's®" Desk
Stan Freberg here. There's one candy everybody seems to love. Can you guess what it is? If you guessed "m&m's®," you're right. Take two, or six, and call me in the morning. More "m&m's" stuff in a minute. [:60 SPOT BREAK]
Freberg here. Jimmy Carter had his peanuts; Ronald Reagan, his jelly beans; and Clinton has his "m&m's®." It's the only sweet served on Air Force One. And it's not just Bill Clinton who sneaks a few.
"m&m's®" are the top-selling candy in America. They even survived the "E.T." debacle. When Steven Spielberg asked the Mars Company if he could feature "m&m's®" in his movie "E.T.", some executive reacted in horror when he saw a picture of E.T., and turned Spielberg down. So Steven just used "Reese's Pieces®" in the top-grossing movie of all time. Shortly after, the "m&m®" executive was, uh, "retired."
If the rock group Van Halen shows up and finds any brown ones in their dressing room, the concert is off. Any more from the "m&m®" desk?
Nope, I ate 'em all!
